Some Philly schools are losing teachers because of parking woes. City Council says it can’t do much.
They could start a VIA program as well and offer that to teachers for free. Source: over 1 year ago
Metro Transit rolls out "micro" rides for North Minneapolis
These systems always employ a private vendor who offers ride sharing software. Via is a primary player in this space. Municipalities put out an RFP and these companies bid, their app is then deployed with the transit providers branding, and then payments are handled by the transit provider. So, these apps/systems function very similar to an Uber or Lyft. Source: over 1 year ago
Best options for ride into and out of NYC?
There’s an app called VIA. It’s about half price compared to Uber but same idea. They can pick up people on way but only if it’s a very similar to your route so it doesn’t add too much extra time unlike Uber pool. https://ridewithvia.com. Source: almost 2 years ago
PSA on mass transit in Detroit (busting some myths)
Flex is a service offered by SMART Bus but the operation is outsourced to a company called Via. Many cities around the U.S. Have been trying out "microtransit" services with varying success. NPR did a story about it recently. It is not that much different than when the QLINE used the company, Transdev, as the operations company. They manage transit systems all over the world. QLINE wasn't happy with their service... Source: almost 2 years ago

Is there a movement to improve the public transportation infrastructure in Durham?
Agreed, any new planning should include attractive public transport options. There are plenty of new technologies out there (such as via transportation) that allow for dynamic routing of buses or shuttles based upon passenger calls from mobile that I think would work great. We can solve this but given the span of our city (most people not working or living in actual urban Durham [which is quickly becoming... Source: over 2 years ago
America's hate of buses and trains is killing the planet
I'm pretty sad that it's 2021 and we don't have lots of little smart minibuses running around on flexible routes. Kinda a cross between a bus and uber/lyft. I think Via (https://ridewithvia.com/) are trying to do this but hasn't really taken off afaik. Lyft Line also kinda tries to do this but rarely feels worth it somehow. Personally... I just bike whenever I can, but realize it's not for everyone. Source: about 3 years ago

Can ride-pooling service Via catch up to Uber and Lyft by being the friendly alternative?

[Photo: courtesy Via]In 2014, New York City became Via’s first test case. To build the company’s proprietary algorithms, Ramot and his team began running routes between the Upper East Side and Midtown in Manhattan, aiming to capture commuters going to and from work. They quickly learned that shared rides bring a host of challenges. One of the most glaring: The fastest route between two points often involves a...

Via Rideshare: Get Shared Rides for Less

Via is available 24/7 in its primary markets — N.Y.C., Chicago, and Washington, D.C. — but in cities that simply have partnerships with Via, there are usually limited hours of operation. In these limited markets, Via is usually still available from early morning to late night, so its services are still likely to be available when you need them. However, Via operations are currently suspended in some markets due to...

Uber, Lyft, Gett, Juno, and Via: Which of these 5 NYC taxi alternatives is right for you?

Bottom line: We use Via all the time, as long as we're not in a big rush to get somewhere. Just prepare to add a few extra minutes to your trip thanks to all the pick-ups. But considering it’ll only cost $2.25 more than the subway (and you can avoid waiting in the hot subway stations this summer), we’re kind of hooked. We’re also wondering when the first Via marriage will take place.
